Re: [Flashcoders] status bar humbug
Thanks for your reply Paul,
What I found was happening was, something like window.status=msg only
had effect if one was getting it off the webserver. It didn't work on
the version on my local machine.
Glad that's sorted out!

The solution I am using is much the same as yours:
//JavaScript:
function displayStatus(theStatus){
var msg = theStatus;
window.status = msg;
}
Bear in mind though that this will not work in Firefox (and possibly
Safari - havent checked on a mac) - on these browsers, Javascript
cannot be used to change the status bar unless the user has
specifically allowed it...

Hello Listites,
I'm having a great deal of difficulty getting a message to show in the
browser window status bar from my swf.
I wanted the appropriate button rollovers to show the URL of the page
they linked to.
I thought the following code should do the trick:
//On the button
on (rollOver) {
getURL(javascript:setStatus('http://www.somesite.com/somepage.html'));
}
//In the HTML file
script type=text/javascript
function setStatus(msg) {
window.status = msg;
}
/script
No joy there. I also tried following the TechNote instructions at the
following address:
Setting the browser status bar from a Flash movie
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14827
That didn't work either. Ditto for various forum answers.
I'm sure this question has been asked many times, but as far as I can
google (AFAICG) I haven't yet found a response that works.
Thanks for any ideas!
Amanda.
